Troy Williams, the HS equivalent of Don Cheadle

Don Cheadle is never going to be a tentpole movie star. But you always notice him, and he makes any movie he’s in better.

Switch arenas to San Antonio area high school football, and you’ve got pretty much the same thing in Madison running back Troy Williams.

On a night designed to showcase Malcolm Brown and Aaron Green — both of whom proved they deserve every bit of hype they get — the UTSA commitment was quietly excellent, rushing for 73 yards, catching a pass for 22 more and blocking like a fiend.

He pancaked one hapless defender on a short Green run. He ran over — or trucked, as the pros say — another en route to an 18-yard run. It was his third double-figure run of the night, the same as Brown finished with.

Granted, Brown’s three runs covered 124 yards compared to Green’s 47. But still — on just about any other team, Williams would be the feature back. While he might not translate to that role in college, he’s got enough versatility that any coordinator worth his playbook should have no problem making good use of him.
